Sea-view Villa With Botanic Garden On The Riviera Dei Fiori

Set in a panoramic location on the Riviera dei Fiori, within a prestigious residential area dotted with detached villas nestled in Mediterranean gardens, this property combines the prestige and privacy of a villa in an elevated position with the convenience afforded by its proximity to amenities.

The residence is situated 600 metres from the sea, set within a 4,000-sqm private botanical garden crossed by a stream and rich in agaves, euphorbias, palms, olive trees and citrus plants. This villa, spanning approximately 650 sqm over three levels, is one of the most comprehensive and distinctive offerings on the luxury residential market in Bordighera, the ‘City of Palms’ that Monet painted obsessively in 1884 and which Queen Margherita of Savoy chose as her official winter residence.

Ten bedrooms, ten bathrooms, a spiral staircase connecting the three floors, a panoramic terrace overhanging the park with sea views, a basement with a bar area, a self-contained apartment, a separate three-room flat with external access, a garage and a greenhouse define a property of great versatility and rare completeness, with the architectural structure typical of residences on the southern coast of France, which gives it a distinctive character within the Ligurian property market.

The ground floor is the most impressive level: the large halls with floor-to-ceiling windows that capture the Mediterranean light and offer a stunning view of the sea and the park connect to the dining room and the kitchen-diner with direct access to the terrace. A big, fully functional antique fireplace dominates the main living room with a striking presence that defines the character of the entire residence.

The cantilevered terrace overlooking the park is one of the most lived-in spaces on the property: bathed in sunshine for most of the day, thanks to the mild coastal microclimate, it allows for al fresco dining and relaxation in every season. A master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a storage room complete the floor.

On the upper level, reached via the striking spiral staircase, there are six bedrooms — four double, one single and one twin — and four bathrooms, all with windows, featuring showers and mosaic-tiled baths; wide corridors with built-in wardrobes and windows offering views line the way. The lower floor, with direct access to the garden, houses the basement with a bar area — a convivial space with a wonderful atmosphere — and a self-contained apartment with a double bedroom, sitting room, kitchen and laundry area. A fully equipped three-room apartment with a kitchen and bathroom, featuring independent access from the outside, completes the living accommodation. A garage, a greenhouse and a cellar round off this exceptionally comprehensive property.
